In that year, the entire world mutated. The game descended into reality while demonic catastrophes rampaged.

For the sake of survival, everyone had to pick up a job class and level up their skills frantically. They worked hard to be more powerful.

Lin Ye acquired the special talent of Reversing.

He could reverse and strengthen any effect that was targeted at the host. For instance, he could turn damage into healing and buffing into debuffing.

As such, he changed his job class and became a priest.

He challenged an opponent, “Come at me! Attack me with any of your forbidden curses or divine techniques. I will admit defeat even if I lose a bit of blood.”

He then said, “So, your attack has no effect on me? It’s my turn to attack now. Healing Spell!”

[Notification: you attacked your opponent with a healing spell and caused 100 million points of critical damage. The other party has been afflicted with the negative status effects of anti-treatment, poison, burn, silence and fatigue.]

Lin Ye’s opponent was befuddled.

Leonardo Anderson awakened one of the rarest Classes in existence — Beast Tamer.It should have been the beginning of his rise.Instead, it became the reason he was betrayed.Framed for stealing an A-Class Monster egg, stripped of his rights, and sentenced to lose his Class to the most powerful family in City Z, Leonardo was supposed to disappear quietly.But on the day everything was taken from him—A new System awakened.One that allows him to add a new talent or skill to his monster every single day.An ordinary owl becomes an S-Class predator.A fugitive becomes something far more dangerous.In a city where Awakeners kill each other in the shadows and justice belongs to the rich, Leonardo has only one rule:Survive.Level up.And never be powerless again.

I’m a quick study.”When she stayed silent, he sighed contentedly, a soft smile playing on his lips.“It’s alright. Just… use me. Anything you need. if you want money, ask the treasury, take as much money that’s needed. if you want power, use my name. if you want security and love, use my body.”His breath warmed her skin, his chest rose and fell with hers. “As long as it's from you, I'm happy.”
